Method
step 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the shallots and fry gently for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
step 2
Turn up the heat, add the kale and fry until softened and cooked through, then add the cabbage, spices and a generous amount of seasoning, and stir well. Fry until the cabbage is wilted and cooked through. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
step 3
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and line a 20 x 30cm ovenproof dish with baking paper.
step 4
Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add the baking powder, flour and yogurt, and whisk well. Add the barberries and pine nuts and, once the greens have cooled slightly, incorporate them a little at a time, mix well, then add in the rest and fold through.
step 5
Pour the mixture into the baking dish and spread to evenly distribute the ingredients. Bake for 35 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
step 6
Cut into squares and serve with a green salad, if you like.
